Just have a few questions as my partner is unsure of the process:
She is from the US and we know that she can come here for 3 months under the visa wavier however we think its for the best she applies for the 9 months at the beginning before she leaves here.
What basically are the only things that will stop her from getting 9 months approved right away?
She will have the $9,000 needed ($1,000 per month as required) no criminal record, never been here before will most likely say she is here to visit friends, see the country, and be staying with me.
secondly anyone know how long these types of applications take to be approved?
and the last question is how does the return flight work? as in do they check that once she arrives here? they cant check that while looking through your application can they? as she wont have a clue when to have the flight booked and when the application will be approved right?
just finally, once we get through this bit she will have 9 months in the country, and after about 3 or so months we will apply for a working visa as my partner for 12 months (as we can obviously only approve a relationship from the time she arrived here.
then after she is here 12 months we will apply for residency, and be getting married while she is on her first work visa.
I presume this is the right way to go?
to be sure and not mess this up we will get an immigration lawyer once she arrives here.
